Project Feedback

Your reports are well structured and accessible. EIA is a very valuable source for my research.

06/20/2017 - Belgium

No doubt, your country analyses are key to our monitoring of country risks, and I expect them to be more and more useful in an energy transition context.

Thanks for your feedback!

06/19/2017 - Hong Kong

This is exceedingly helpful, I cannot do without these analyses. The references are particularly useful in further understanding of the issues.

06/19/2017 - Argentina

I belong to an ngo dealing with energy policies in Argentina, and their connections with the international public policies and energy markets. Your information is very useful for me. THANKS

06/19/2017 - North Carolina, United States

I am a former U.S. State Department official now teaching energy courses at the university level. The EIA products are highly reliable and up-to-date.

Thanks for your feedback, and we're glad to hear that you find the information useful!

06/19/2017 - Turkey

I am a high-ranking Govt. official dealing with international relations and diplomacy. I have been resorting to your data for more than 10 years. It provides to me useful background for the structure and developments in the energy sector, both on country basis and on global scope. Useful and helpful data for my work. Thanks sincerely.

Thank you for your feedback!

05/17/2017 - Argentina

It keeps me updated. Very useful information.

Thank you for your feedback!

05/17/2017 - Denmark

The info provided regularly by the EIA is of very good quality and of high value, thanks.

Thanks for your feedback!

04/16/2017 - United Kingdom

I am using the total electricity net consumption of U.S. But I am confused the description of the data. i.e. What is the net consumption means? Is it seasonally adjusted data? Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! For the United States, net consumption excludes the energy consumed by the generating units. For all other countries except the United States, total electric power consumption = total net electricity generation + electricity imports - electricity exports – electricity transmission and distribution losses.

Clicking on the first graphic on this page zooms in way too much (the height of the graphic is 3x the size of the pop-up) and only the vertical scroll bar works. http://www.eia.gov/beta/international/regions-topics.cfm?RegionTopicID=CSR#

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, it has now been fixed.

12/19/2016 - China

Where can I find the previous function that could enable to view and download selected data in tables ? Thanks.

You can find the information you’re looking for in the “Data” tab at the top of the International Portal. From there you can use the “Select Data” and “Select Countries” tabs to select the data you’d like presented. To download the data you have selected click the download icon above the table. (Data (CSV) – Table is the download you’re looking for)

12/06/2016 - Spain

Excelent work. A few suggestions regarding CO2 emissions: - 2012 data for Argentina, Brazil and India (at least) are missing... - there is a strange jump in Germany data between 2009 and 2010 Thanks again

Thanks for your feedback. We recently updated the CO2 Emissions data. There is now data for Argentina, Brazil, and India.

12/01/2016 - Italy

First of all, congrats for this huge and helpful dataset!Secondly, how can I recover the data for Biodiesel production and see them in the chart/table? The Source button seem not to do any changes.. Thanks a lot again

We have not loaded the biodiesel data onto the new website. We will be doing so shortly.

11/28/2016 - Colombia

It would be easier, if when using metric units, instead of writing "billion kWh" you would specify whether this is 10^9 (as in english speaking countries) or 10^12 (everywhere else). Am I correct to assume 1 billion kW equal 1 GW?

Thanks for your feedback! The Unit of Measure Equivalents EIA uses can be found here:

11/19/2016 - Missouri, United States

International energy - consumption per capita years 2010 and 2011 seem wildly out of line with the previous years. US goes for 308 to 69,595 in 2010? Seems incorrect

Thanks for your feedback! We have not updated Per Capita Consumption data yet; this is in work.

11/11/2016 - Indiana, United States

I very much liked the previous version where excel downloaded data was much easier to work with. With this new version and the way it generates excel files when we download data, it takes me a huge amount of time to effectively use a downloaded file.

We are always looking for ways to improve our website, and appreciate your feedback.

11/11/2016 - Virginia, United States

Per capita consumption data for 2011 by continent is coming up strangely. For global consumption of 529 Quad BTUs, it's showing per capita 9.5 trillion BTUs (which would assume a world pop. ~56,000).

Thanks for your comment! We have not updated Per Capita Consumption data yet; this is in work.

11/02/2016 - India

Hi, great work with the interface. However, there are parts of the database that we could access in the previous version, that we are unable to access here (Imports and exports of petroleum crude and products, consumption of renewable energy in QTBTU among others). It would be great if these issues were cleared up asap so as to improve usability and access to data. Thank you!

Thanks for your feedback! In order to make the imports data easier to find, a ‘Featured View’ was created for Petroleum OECD Imports. Exports data is currently bring validated and will be posted to the website once approved. Imports/Exports data for Coal, Electricity and Hydrocarbon Gas Liquids can be found by filtering within the “Select Data” button.

Thank you for your inquiry. At this time, we are not sure when (or if) we will include country-level data on oil/petroleum imports and exports in our International Energy Statistics.

A potential non-EIA source for that data that you could try is: www.iea.org

10/13/2016 - Iran

Can you please create new links for your new things? I just saved a link for total renewable electricity net consumption, every time I just use this link address, but this time because of your update, it was not found. It makes me confused, I need this data in excel format, I search all of your website, I did not find this variable data/

Thanks for your feedback! Renewable electricity consumption is assumed to equal to renewable electricity generation, so that variable was not added to the beta site. This can be revisited so as to avoid confusion.

10/11/2016 - New York, United States

The old system to download data was much easier - why fix something that worked well. I saw a comment that person can download all countries - I can not find that. Can you please direct me to it - thanks

When on the Data Tab of the website: http://www.eia.gov/beta/international/data/browser/#/?vs=INTL.44-1-AFRC-QBTU.A&cy=2013&vo=0&v=H&start=1980&end=2014

Click on the ‘Select Countries’ button in green. - Click on ‘All Countries’ on the left. Click ‘Select All’ on the Right. Click on the green check mark button in the top right corner. Click on the green ‘Download’ button on the top right side of the data table

10/01/2016 - Texas, United States

I'm just curious why the data period ends at 2013 - it's now Oct 2016 - seems like there should be data at least thru 2015. Has the beta site been replaced? Am I just in the wrong place?

The data on the Beta website was recently updated and validated through 2013. The team will be working to gather, validate, and publish 2014 and 2015 in the coming months.

09/28/2016 - Japan

I'm using the data for elec. generation (e.g. PV or wind) for my own research. Before this version, the data were down to 3 to 4 decimal places. However, only 1 decimal seems to be shown in Beta. It would be more useful and helpful for research if some options for more decimal place were added or units could be modified (e.g. other than billion kWh for generation). Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback! We are currently working on updating the number of decimal places for more specificity.

09/13/2016 - Norway

Hi, this gives me a very interesting picture of the global energy sector. Thank you.

You're welcome, and thanks for your feedback!

08/29/2016 - Texas, United States

The organization of downloaded CSV data makes the data almost unusable. All headers for each country are shown as having equal value to the country itself so the data cannot be sorted without losing the country identification. I downloaded All Countries>Crude Oil and Lease Condensate Production. Column B makes every heading equal i.e., the country and various information headings. It is unfortunate that a download cannot be directly used but it is frustrating that as an expert Excel user I cannot easily determine a way to organize the data in a way that makes it usable. Thanks, Art Berman

Sorry you are having trouble with the data download, please try the following. Once you select Countries/Select data but before you initializing the download click the tab for Sources/Activities. This will change the way the data is displayed/downloaded and should solve your problem.

08/16/2016 - Texas, United States

Really helpful and easy to use.

Thanks!

08/12/2016 - United Kingdom

Excellent. This is much easier to navigate and use.

We're glad you like it!

07/27/2016 - Brazil

Excelent job! What does the "other liquids" in Total Petroleum and Other Liquids Production 2015 include?

Other Liquids includes biodiesel, ethanol, liquids produced from coal, gas, and oil shale, Orimulsion, and other hydrocarbons

07/18/2016 - India

Very useful data. However, it would be great if you could mention how much of India's energy (especially oil and gas) imports come by sea, in order to get a clearer picture of India's energy imports.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll look into making those changes.

06/23/2016 - United Kingdom

I was using your import figures for china i.e. the pie chart for percentage world wide imports 2014 and when added up it is 99% rather than 100.

Thanks for your feedback. The total may not equal 100% due to independent rounding.

06/22/2016 - Japan

More new information will be helpful to understand global enegy situation.

We're glad you like it.

06/15/2016 - Ecuador

Srs, I am probably one of the thousands readers that are eager to learn of the new information produced by EIA. Excellent, by the way. OPEC report on revenue is very informative. Our governments always keep us in the dark. Why???. Thank you

06/07/2016 - United Kingdom

Amazing data, thank you very much!

05/25/2016 - China

Very helpful information!! Well researched, clear figures and graphs.

05/18/2016 - California, United States

There is no data available for the petroleum or natural gas reserves in the U.S.A.

EIA has published data for both series' through 2015.

05/01/2016 - Australia

It is incredibly frustrating trying to view the data you want. Today I simply want to view the imports of crude oil in bbld in South Africa. BTU is a completely unhelpful metric.

You can use the 'Change Units' control to adjust from BTU to U.S. Customary system, Metric, or another measurement option of your choosing.

04/22/2016 - California, United States

2014?? Where are the production numbers of 2015 and up 4/22/16?

Production numbers for 2015 and 2016 will be added once they are finalized.

04/03/2016 - United Kingdom

Fantastic resource. Very well researched, clear and easy figures and graphs. Well organised too. Incredible useful!

03/08/2016 - District of Columbia, United States

What a handy tool, thanks!

03/06/2016 - New Jersey, United States

Well organized information with easy access.

02/15/2016 - West Virginia, United States

Very helpful information!

02/14/2016 - China

I like the old version which had a country brief.

All countries with analyses can be accessed by clicking the "analysis" tab.

02/09/2016 - Saudi Arabia

Excellent work for the country analysis. However, i'm struggling to cite the South African country analysis report....would appreciate if you could sent it

You can download PDF files for all of the countries with a detailed energy analysis. (Click the "read full analysis" link and the downloadable PDF is at the top left of your screen labeled “full report”)

01/30/2016 - Spain

Your website is very useful for me as a teacher, particularly the world thematic maps. My students like it as well. Thanks a lot!

01/22/2016 - Vietnam

Useful data for my work. Thanks sincerely.

01/04/2016 - Canada

Best government website ever

01/02/2016 - Turkey

Goood

12/29/2015 - Michigan, United States

We use your 'Total Electricity Net Consumption' data for comparing countries for a market potential index we create each year. Data in the previous years was available up to 5 decimal places. However, data is available with only 1 decimal place this year (through the beta interface) and comparing countries became a challenge because there are too many countries with the same values now. Is there a way to download the full data-set with all the decimal points available?

Thank you for contacting EIA. We are currently working on updating the number of decimal places for more specificity.

12/22/2015 - United Kingdom

Brilliant bit of website, made my life a thousand times easier!

12/06/2015 - Argentina

Excellent!!

11/29/2015 - Malaysia

May I know if there is a latest write up on Malaysia year 2015. The one I have obtained is 2014.

Country analyses are updated on a periodic basis, the 2014 analysis for Malaysia is the most current.

11/21/2015 - Virginia, United States

Terrific article on Brazil...thank you.

11/20/2015 - Egypt

I note that the analysis of energy in Israel in this site is not covered in details as other countries?

You are correct, not all countries, including in this case Israel, have detailed analysis briefs.

11/17/2015 - Michigan, United States

Great PDF file on Canada's energy and trade success! Exactly what I needed to bring me up to speed for my research on Michigan and on the Midwest - thanks! (Mike at McGuire Research)

11/15/2015 - California, United States

Why are your maps so hard to copy and past? It should be easy to get a nice graph of yours.

Our maps and graphs are available for download, and are also easily embeddable for use on external websites, blogs, and newsletters. Simply click the 'Download' button adjacent to a map or graphic and you will be presented with a variety of format options.

11/12/2015 - Alabama, United States

I work with Excel spreadsheets. I looked at your Excel download function and examined your Excel spreadsheet. It appears that if I am going to load the data into my spreadsheets, I will have to do one line at a time, each country individualy.

EIA offers an Excel Add-in that will allow you to simplify your spreadsheet work. The EIA Excel Add-in can be found here.

10/06/2015 - United Kingdom

The analysis on South Korea was a very interesting and worthwhile read. Great to see such an informed analysis presented with tables to illustrate it

09/30/2015 - France

Excellent interface, very very efficient. Having global data is definitely a plus. Too bad data goes up to 2012 and does not include 2013 and 2014. Comments coming from an IT manager used to major systems with large databases.

Thank you for your feedback! We are constantly adding new data series' to our database, data for current years will be added as it is available.

09/12/2015 - India

I always rely on data published by EIA to make various comparisons and analysis reports. This tool makes my job much easier.

09/11/2015 - Russia

Amazing tool, thank you for such a useful application for data export .

08/16/2015 - Colorado, United States

So... Pretty! Really appreciate you guys going the extra mile with your data tools, this makes my research so much more effective. You guys have been an utter joy to work with (not a typical experience for government bureaucracy), and this new beta is the icing on the cake. Thanks for the hard work you have put in to make this information clear and understandable! Looking forward to seeing what you guys cook up in the future.

06/09/2015 - District of Columbia, United States

Why can't I download any of this to spreadsheets? Why can't I download multiple years?

You can download all of the international data as spreadsheets. To do this, select the country, or countries, and fuel source(s) you would like to see data for and click the download button. (Directly beneath the animation controls) This will give you the option to download the displayed data in a variety of ways, including as a spreadsheet (.csv file). Data for all available years is included as the default.

06/01/2015 - Nigeria

Dear Sirs, I have been using your data for almost 20 yrs, in particular the international Petroleum data. I like the granularity provided, by country by month. Unfortunately it seems from the beta site, that I can only access the annual data and only download as a CSV file. Is that correct? regards Casper

Where are the country pages!!!? I am writing a book chapter and referenced your site, where I found terrific info on India and Japan several months ago. Unfortunately, it appears you deleted those pages. Why?

The country pages can be accessed by clicking the "Select Country/Region" dropdown, and also by clicking the "Analysis" tab.

05/27/2015 - Antarctica

I really love this beautiful webpage! It is very wonderful:) I love learning about this stuff!

05/25/2015 -

I need to access country profiles in .pdf form.

You can download PDF files for all of the countries with a detailed energy analysis. (Click the "read full analysis" link and the downloadable PDF is at the top left of your screen labeled “full report”)

05/20/2015 - New York, United States

Thank you for all the info and help over the past few years. Before the layout, I was able to find annual #s of net exports of petro for each country, and now I have no idea where it is.

Click the Data tab and then use the "Select Data" and "Select Countries" buttons to choose which fuel source(s) and which countries you'd like to see the data for.

05/20/2015 - New York, United States

I am looking for bbl and bcf , not Btu , can you tell me where to look for country's oil bbl and gas in bcf? Thanks

The information you’re requesting can still be found in the new International Portal’s Data Browser. (The data tab)

Once on the data page clicking the “Select Data” button allows you to choose which energy source is shown, allows you to specify what data you want to retrieve, and allows you to adjust the unit of measurement based on your preferences.

05/20/2015 - Canada

Where can I find the original spreadsheets with the country data for Crude + Condensate and the one for all liquids. The new look is too complicated for me. The spreadsheet is more easily used for good analysis.

Once on the data page you can use the “Select Countries” button to select which countries you’d like to see data series’ for. (You can also select all countries)

Likewise, clicking the “Select Data” button allows you to choose which energy source(s) is shown, and allows you to specify what data you want to retrieve. (Consumption, production, etc.)

05/19/2015 - Texas, United States

Would like a link to the pdf of the entire country analysis brief.

Thanks for writing in. If the country has a full write-up (a full brief, more than just bullets), we do offer a PDF. See Saudi Arabia (http://www.eia.gov/beta/international/analysis.cfm?iso=SAU) as an example. We typically don't offer pre-baked PDFs if we just have bullet notes (what we call Country Analysis Notes)

If you are looking to PDF other sections of the site (the country overview page, for example), you can use any number of free, open source packages to create a PDF. They typically use your computer's "print" function, but instead of using a printer, they produce a PDF on your computer's hard drive.
